Yongjiang Laboratory was founded in Ningbo, Zhejiang province, on May 19, and one day later, Oujiang Laboratory, another provincial-level laboratory in Zhejiang, was established in Wenzhou.

Zhejiang currently has a total of six provincial-level laboratories. The other four are all based in the provincial capital of Hangzhou.

The Zhejiang and Hupan laboratories focus on research into internet plus technologies. The Liangzhu, Westlake, and Oujiang laboratories are tasked with developing cutting-edge life health technologies, and the Yongjiang Laboratory is mainly a new materials research institute.

Zhejiang's establishment of these institutes in recent years demonstrates its determination to become a world-class scientific innovation center in the near future.
